Description
CRISTALLERIE DU CREUSOT. Decorative crystal urn, with part of the lid and body featuring wheel-engraved decoration. The rim of the lid is adorned with a circular frieze of olives, and the lower part of the body is cut into flat bands. Circa 1830. Height: 25 cm.
A similar urn can be found on page 323 of the book *L’âge d’or du verre en France 1800–1830* by Fernando Montes de Oca, published by F.M. The book attributes the urn to Montcenis. The terms ‘Montcenis crystal’ and ‘Le Creusot crystal’ both refer to the ‘Cristallerie de la Reine’, which was renamed the ‘Cristallerie du Creusot’ during the Revolution.
